Climate Tech doesn’t have an innovation problem – it has a collaboration problem
90 percent of target emission reductions can be achieved through technologies that already exist. They’re just not widely deployed. What’s holding everyone back?
Well, unlike other emerging technologies, Climate Tech requires collaboration to scale.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that deploying climate technologies often requires systemic change
across entire value chains. So, as climate tech startups move from demo stages to deployments with major partners, they face a lack of funding.
Sightline Climate calls this the “Valley of Death.”
Why are corporations struggling to see the financial and strategic rewards within Climate?
Well, corporate climate initiatives suffer from the die-off of more market-ready technologies, leaving them only with higher-risk demos that cannot meet the scale they need.
The answer:
Collaboration between the largest businesses in the world and emerging Climate Tech startups.
Collaboration across value chains can help advance deployment-ready tech, benefitting both startups and potential
corporate partners, across industries. Corporate involvement is key; one recent study found that Climate Tech startups with at least one corporate investor more than double their exit outcomes compared to those who don’t.
For corporations, these types of collaborations create transparency and promote the pooling of risk and investments, thereby helping to achieve step changes in decarbonization within and across sectors. The key goal of collaboration is to accelerate commercial scaling, enabling corporations to meet their net-zero goals and to identify and exploit revenue opportunities.
